Meet New Mexico State's 7'5 355 freshman center, who punched the Aggies ticket to the Big Dance on Saturday night with a dominating 16 point, 15 rebound, 5 block performance.


With a 64-55 victory over UT-Arlington in the WAC championship game, New Mexico State instantly became one of the most interesting low seeds in the NCAA Tournament.
That's what happens when you have a 7'5 355 center who isn't a complete stiff. Check out what happens to Jordan Reves, a 6'10 240 center, when Bhullar, a 19-year old from Toronto, gets the ball in the low post:

Forget about taking any easy shots near the basket against him either. After his first several blocks, Bhullar had the UT-Arlington guards throwing up shots like these:


My personal favorite is this gif of Bhullar setting a pick on the Mavericks 5'9 175 guard:


You can't even see No. 12 in the frame for a second!
Bhullar is no Shawn Bradley or Pavel Podkolzine. The whole "can't run up and down a basketball court" thing might be a bit of an issue for him against a team like Louisville, but a half-court squad like Wisconsin better not catch Sim Bhullar in the first round.
Here's the really scary part: Tanveer, his younger brother, is a 7'3 300 high school junior! He was in the stands for this game and New Mexico State is recruiting him.
I, for one, welcome our new Canadian basketball overlor

those videos dont do him justice, he is huge and just erases everything in the paint. cant run at all, but he had a two handed block, like you would when playing with little kids.

If they get him in the weight room and turn that bulk into some muscle he could be one heck of a ball player. They will be on radar from now on. Thanks for the article.

project 4 sure

if he puts in some real work in the weight room and gets some endurance and speed this guy will be a force! @)

During the game they said he needed to lose 70 pounds to play in the NBA. In the 2nd half he was standing in front of his basket and extended his arms in front of himself as a UTA player came towards him.The UTA guy disappareared under his arms and tried to raise the ball to shoot .Bhullar just grabbed the ball out of his hands.

Exactly, watched him several times this year and some of their best runs were when he was on the bench. Hes fun to watch but not very good at all skill wise.

looking at his stats he must have improved as the season wore on, esp. lately

thats one big guy. I hope he gets better footwork and develops his skills, would be fun to watch him play more

He needs to protect his knees. That's a lot of height and weight to be throwing around. NMS would be smart to play a 1-3-1- zone and just leave this dude in the middle to SWAT everything

this guy is a gimmick, can't stay on the floor for longer than 5 mins at a time.
